When Wild Honey is Not Always the Sweetest
orchidee said:
KP will have to go. She is costing me too much! But I won\'t see her any less. I don\'t see her 99% in person anyway - only on TV, in papers, or doing \'porridge\'\'?
She gets away with things, with botox making her look like an old trout age 99, so they let her off (No offence to oldies).

Sweeter than honey those long-ago days Nev. - -- remembering when love was a song that could never die and this piece of poetry proves it with relatable imagery - - - it set me off recalling life on the cheap but oh what great times ....x

Wow N, power title to start off with! As a child my older cousins and uncles took me wild honey ‘hunting.’ And yes, without the aid of bleached processed sugar it can have its specific type of sweetness that isn’t the sweetest type around. So glad to be experiencing this poem!

That litigation culture does not take to account the real feelings of the majority of people in our world, most just want to live in peace without those in power doing something different.

All it takes is one citizen to pass the buck to another, and then, because there is more than one citizen involved it ends up in the hands of some organization, who then passes it from the local to the regional to the national. They of course, pass it to the government starting with the local, who then pass it to the county, and they pass it to the state which, in turn, forward it to the federal. It then gets moved to the Congress which pass that buck to the president, where Harry Truman said, \"The buck stops here,\" as a measure of taking responsibility.
Your poem highlights this inane shirking and the preposterous excuses used to achieve it. Where does it all end? Only the originator of the pass has that answer, but he\'ll probably pass it on, to avoid a lawsuit. - Phil A.

Your words have always had a life of their own, and their own personality, Neville. You speak not just through, but with your pieces as well. A beautiful work of art this is, like those rare flowers that just never lose their charm, sir. A definite favorite of mine.
